From Runtime to Resilience: The Path to Scalable PHP
Paul Dragoonis
Description
Scaling PHP applications isn’t just about handling traffic—it’s about adopting the right mindset to build resilient, high-performing systems. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how to architect PHP applications for scalability and avoid the common design and architectural flaws that quietly limit growth in many projects. You’ll gain practical strategies for optimizing the PHP runtime, fine-tuning application configurations, and shaping codebases that can adapt and perform under increasing demand. Through live demonstrations and interactive exercises, this session will equip you with the patterns, techniques, and mindset needed to confidently scale your PHP applications.
